Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally.

As a Product Manager for Getaways, you will work with our Engineering, Operations, Finance and Strategy teams to create a product strategy and roadmap. The strategy will tie to the overall operating plan for Getaways and the roadmap will be used to align various stakeholders at Getaways and throughout the company. You will be responsible for directing the priorities of associated Engineering teams and making adjustments to your roadmap as the business requires from time to time and keep cross-functional partners appraised of relevant developments.
In addition to the functional and operating requirements, as a Senior Product Manager, you will develop the underlying business justification for your plan and determine how to measure and report on success.
We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of ownership and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
As a Product Manager, you will:
Own the end-to-end product vision and strategy to drive execution for Getaways User Experience, Search and Discovery efforts
Work with designers, developers and senior management to build features and experiences that enhance the customer experience
Launch bold new features on mobile web and web that drives revenue lift and increased purchase frequency

Phase complex products as may be necessary and understand tactically how influence various parts of the organization effectively to get a “foot in the door” for your projects.
Monitor, measure, and track the success and/or failure of your programs and make recommendations for how to adapt based upon the results we find.
